Medipix2 CT setup in Erlangen
● Three translation stages (1 µm resolution)
● One rotation stage(0.1 degree resolution)
● MUROS 2.1● Distances:
– Focus-detector: 768mm– Focus-object plate: 635mm
● Tungsten X-ray tube: – standard diagnostic tube– tube voltage 40 – 125 kV

Ring artefacts in CT
Problem: variations in lower threshold lead to differing counting behavior for every pixel (‘gain’)
→ ring artefacts in computed tomography

Flatfield method: Advantages
Equalisation using
electronic noise flatfield images
- spectrum not taken into acount
- optimised for THL of noise
- only electronic properties
- time ~ hours
+ optimised for given spectrum
+ optimised for given THL
+ sensor inhomogenities considered
+ rather fast method

Histogram of Flatfields: THL-maskbit 0, 7; different THS→ calculate width and distance of distributions

Optimum THS - Quad
Linear fit of right boundary of bit0-distribution vs THS→ OptimumTHS (for each Chip on the Quad!)

Mask quality - Definition
Countrate independent parameter for mask quality!(lower is better; zero for a perfect detector)

Mask quality Single Chip
● All THL-Masks worse for higher thresholds● Flatfieldmasks better by a factor of ~ 1.35

Outlook
● five different THS Values instead of three → quadratic fit?
● tune FBK settings after generation of mask for better global homogeneity
● automate procedure → Pixelman plugin?
